PSYLLIUM SUPER FIBER 100% HUSKS 340 G
NPN 80024746
Enriched Psyllium Husk is an excellent source of fiber. It purifies, decontaminates and is 100% natural. Psyllium is a bulk forming laxative and is high in both fiber and mucilage. Psyllium seeds contain 10–30% mucilage. The laxative properties of psyllium are due to the swelling of the husk when it comes in contact with water. This forms a gelatinous mass that keeps feces hydrated and soft, provided it is taken with sufficient water. The resulting bulk stimulates a reflex contraction of the walls of the bowel, followed by emptying.

Effects observed 12-24 hours after first dose, and may take 2-3 days. Take 2 hours before or after taking other medications.
